Forecasts

Nearly Perfect (15/8), Sizing Cusimano (7/2), Broadclyst (5/1), Smuggler's Blues (11/2), Normandy Soldier (8/1), Realm Keeper (8/1), Barbrook Star (10/1), Cougar's Gold (28/1), Lac Sacre (66/1)

Verdict

SIZING CUSIMANO has yet to get his head in front over fences but should find conditions ideal here having not got home over a marathon trip at Exeter last time so is fancied to fend off in-form Smuggler's Blues, who rates a big threat on the back of his excellent Plumpton second. C&D scorer Nearly Perfect is another who is sure to make his presence felt in a competitive handicap.

  1. SIZING CUSIMANO
  2. SMUGGLER'S BLUES (IRE)
  3. NEARLY PERFECT
